Reduction of CO2 emissions through improved combustion efficiencyWith the reduction of boiler trips and plant accidents, boiler combustion efficiency has been dramatically improved. In addition to ensuring a stable supply of heat and electricity to the city of Ulaanbaatar, this has made it possible to generate more electricity from the same amount of coal. The amount of oil consumed for plant restarts has also been decreased, further reducing CO 2 emissions. Technical transfer to TPP4The Yokogawa project team worked together with TPP4's engineers from start to finish of this project, providing them the opportunity to improve their skills in such areas as engineering design and commissioning. A number of the boiler control systems were successfully replaced by the TPP4 engineers. This transfer of power plant engineering expertise was one of the main aims of this ODA project, and this ensures that the skills and know-how are in place to sustain operations at this plant.27Mr. J. Osgonbaatar, Executive Director of TPP4 at the time, says, "Seeing is believing. Whatever beautiful things sales people say, I will not believe until I see them at work. When we experienced the plant trip, I learned what makes Yokogawa different from others. I admire their sincerity and devotion toward customers."New central control roomMr. J. OsgonbaatarResults Reduction of boiler trips and accidentsOne by one, the eight boilers were changed over to the new control system and resumed operation, starting at the end of 1998. Reliability and safety have both been dramatically improved as a result of a steady decline in the number of boiler trips and accidents. With production up and oil consumption down, it has been possible to significantly reduce energy imports from Russia.Customer SatisfactionMore than a year after phase one was fully completed, one of the four boilers caused a trip. Yokogawa dispatched engineers immediately and made every effort to solve the problem. The investigation found that the boiler trip was caused by a malfunction in one of the conventional components left over the old plant control system. Even though a Yokogawa product was not at fault, the company's engineers provided the TPP4 engineers the support they needed to get the plant safely operating again.Ulaanbaatar TPP4
